Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is one of the most effective ways to restore youth and beauty to damaged or aged skin. During a chemical peel, a specially formulated solution is applied to the skin to remove dead cells and stimulate the production of new skin cells. An Obagi® "Blue" Peel, for example, uses a glycolic acid solution that is applied to the skin in one to four coats, depending on the patient’s skin condition and level of tolerance. By removing the outer, damaged layers, the peel effectively tightens the skin, reduces wrinkles, and restores a more youthful appearance. Additionally, for some patients, Dr. Clifford King may recommend a combination of treatments, such as combining a chemical peel with BOTOX® Cosmetic or Restylane® injections, for more noticeable facial rejuvenation.
